Red Deer RCMP encourage students to celebrate grad safely

Red Deer RCMP PSA — Graduation season is an exciting milestone for students, families, and school communities across Alberta. As celebrations and year-end activities begin, the Red Deer RCMP is encouraging youth to make safe and responsible choices while enjoying grad events and gatherings. Planning ahead, looking out for friends, and making smart decisions can help ensure everyone gets home safely.

The Red Deer RCMP reminds students and families to:

• Never drive impaired or get into a vehicle with an impaired driver.
• Plan for a safe ride home before attending celebrations.
• Be mindful of social media posts and online activity.
• Respect school property, community spaces, and local bylaws.

Parents and caregivers are encouraged to have open conversations with youth about safety expectations, peer pressure, and the importance of looking out for one another during graduation celebrations.
